Asking small businesses to shut down and not giving them money is like breaking someone’s legs and then hiding the crutches.

[brucel.]

For many, their business is their livelihood; they are being ordered to shut down for a lengthy period and yet no financial support from the government. I can see why they are so frustrated and angry. How do you expect them to pay their debts and bills without income. This mandate will eventually push them over the edge.

Difference is that in Europe, the govt is helping businesses financially

[gosikh]

Totally unfair.

They invested much for outdoor dining.

If airlines can operate and have people eating on board, then restaurants should be able to operate.

Who the F makes these rules?

[Cyndogg]

Terrible 🤦🏻‍♀️ small business going down the drain while big businesses doing better than ever

[davidsincere]

As the saying goes you get the government you vote for!

[isaidit]

[JackTheRabbitMusic]

I hope, someday, I can come play my songs in your bars and restaurants!! Support San Francisco musicians and small businesses!
Make Music Great Again!!! 🐰🇺🇸❤️🎸🎶✌️

[pdales]

Well I have a question! When did Governor do as I say not as I do number one get his medical degree? and why are we listening to him when he goes to the French laundry and spends $300 a plate lies to us and says that he was outside eating and would put his mask back on when we see the picture where he's not he's got his mask off around a bunch of people! that's a first question next question is Marin closed down Sonoma county isn't Sonoma county has has more cases of the coronavirus than Marin county so Marin county can drive to Sonoma county the parks are open and everything else is open it's only like a 25 minute drive it just does not make sense 1 and 1 does not equal 3 I have a funny feeling that Governor gruesome newsome is trying to be the shepherd anything's we are sheep American people California people need to stand up against this crap it's gotten way too far out of hand they got way too much power now we need to take it back we pay their salaries with our hard earned tax dollars absolutely ridiculous stand up Californians before it's too late big companies are already moving out HP and the rest of them they're moving out of California he is going to bankrupt California it is going to be a ghost town if he doesn't resign or we don't get him out God bless everyone I'm praying for you

1:40 "You'll be safer here than getting together with 10 people at somebody's house."

He just *had* to say that, didn't he?

[Nrdk]

Why are the news reporters not staying home? News is not essential?

[thomasgeorge]

Dont close down open up an push back against the corrupt government officials the people will fight with you push back an open up fight corrupt government and be free

[luisarias]

read the 10th amendment of united state of America

[blessethishe]

Ban all the outdoor dining. Its way too many people group close together shoulder to shoulder breaking all the safety guidelines. Please lockdown all dining! Definitely ban personal care establishments I see no onr wiping those chairs and equipment down after each person. Should ban outdoor gyms

[onetime]

That’s why you don’t listen to public servants you just say no!

[MrChannelsurfing]

Massive California exit .. can’t blame them for leaving.. hopefully you learn to vote red from now on ..
